| Reverse description | Central field displays a rampant lion to the left within a beaded inner circle, rendered in a lively heraldic style characteristic of Luxembourgish medieval coinage. The lion, the heraldic symbol of the County of Luxembourg, is shown with an open mouth, raised forepaw, and prominent tail, occupying nearly the entire inner field. The surrounding border features an elaborate Gothic ornamental frame composed of curved foliate and trefoil motifs alternating around the circumference between the beaded circle and the outer legend. The outer legend reads MONETA• MERAVD`, preceded by an eagle symbol, identifying this as the monetary issue of the Méraude mint. All lettering is executed in Gothic uncial script. |
